Konges Slojd Size Guide | littlewild kids
Konges Sløjd sizing runs a little differently than most American kids' brands, and it's one of the most common questions we get before someone places their first order. Here's what actually helps when you're staring at a size chart trying to decide between two options.
Konges Sløjd Sizes Run European, Not US
Sizes are labeled in months and years based on European sizing conventions, which tend to run slightly more true-to-height than US sizing rather than true-to-age. If your child is tall for their age, sizing up is usually the safer call; if they're petite or you want a piece to last longer, their true size or even one size up in outerwear (which is often designed with roomier layering in mind) works well.
Clothing and Underwear: True to Size, With Room to Grow
For everyday clothing and underwear, Konges Sløjd generally fits true to the labeled size with a little extra room built in — intentional, since European kidswear brands often design for a growing child to wear a piece across a season rather than for a handful of months. If your child is between sizes, sizing up gives you more wear out of the piece before it's outgrown.
Rompers, Bodysuits, and Onesies: Check Length First
These tend to run slightly shorter in the body than the size label suggests, especially for babies going through a growth spurt. If your baby is already at the top end of a size range, sizing up avoids a bodysuit that's snug through the torso within a few weeks of purchase.
Outerwear and Rain Gear: Layering Room Matters
Konges Sløjd's rain and outerwear pieces are cut with layering in mind — designed to fit comfortably over a sweater or fleece underneath. If you're ordering rain gear for cooler months when your child will be layered up, their true size usually works; for warmer-weather rain gear worn over lighter clothing, true size is also fine and won't run large.
What to Do When You're Between Sizes
As a general rule: size up for outerwear, rompers, and anything you want to last through a growth spurt. Stick with true size for everyday clothing and underwear where a snugger fit isn't a problem. When in doubt, sizing up rarely creates a real fit problem — European kidswear is generally designed with enough room that a slightly larger size still looks intentional, not oversized.
